#cotta 2024

“Spit it out Pitch, I know you’re plotting something!”

Done as part of @carryonthroughtheages

For my cotta, I was originally inclined to do something ancient Greek related, something very predictable of me. However, I realised that 500+ hours of my time this year has gone to indulging in Film Noir for my honours project at university. So that’s what I finally landed on doing for this! I also get to put this as part of my “exploration” of the genre in my presentation ahahaha

Soda Jerk

For my contribution to @carryonthroughtheages, I decided to recreate a Norman Rockwell painting. When I first saw Soda Jerk, it was actually the dog that made me want to use it. I thought it would be fun if the dog was Agatha's Lucy

Thank you so much to @iamamythologicalcreature for hosting this event!

Carry On Through the Ages (all the way back to Ancient Egypt)

"A Prophesied Rivalry:

This painting, remarkably well-preserved, was recovered from the tomb of a previously unknown and as-yet unidentified woman of significant power, whose rediscovery has fascinated Egyptologists. Historical analysis suggests she was believed to possess a gift for prophecy, and this artwork is very likely an attempt to illustrate one of her visions.

Here, she and her husband are depicted championing their son, who faces an outsider in combat. The outsider is also supported by an enigmatic figure of seemingly great power, foretelling a great struggle between two mighty forces, though whether these forces were meant to be supernatural or more mundane is not clear.

The dog shown, intriguingly, held a place of honor within the family and was found interred in a nearby chamber. The cat's presence, however, remains enigmatic, as the "Cats vs Dogs" reputation cultivated by these domesticated animals today is not something observed elsewhere in Ancient Egyptian artwork. Noted Egyptologists Miriam Blackwood and Theodore Langston have half-jokingly speculated that its inclusion was a mere artistic preference, hinting at the painter’s fondness for cats."

I've always loved Ancient Egyptian art, ever since childhood. I've wanted to do something like this ever since I first read of Baz's ancestry, so @carryonthroughtheages seemed the best excuse to dabble in this ancient art style.

I talked to @monbons about it and apparently the stars and planets were in alignment that day, because she agreed to collaborate with me. She’s created some absolutely gorgeous fiber art to go along with Natasha’s prophecies. And then she surprised me with a Baz doll, because she is amazing. (I love him so much and we are going to look at fashion books together. It’s going to be awesome.)

This is definitely fanart of both Ancient Egyptian art and Snowbaz. Both are worth diving into if you find yourself curious to know more!

WIP Wednesday

thanks for the tags @that-disabled-princess and @larkral! happy halloween-eve!

here's my last sneak peek of my @carryonthroughtheages fic before i post it! posting starts on sunday, so i'll either post it then, or on monday.

“That being said, wedding cake is delicious.” Agatha says.

“It’s just cake.” Simon, I suspect, already knows where this is going as well as I do. He would never utter the phrase “just cake” if he wasn’t deflecting.

“You just like an open bar.” I add, also on the defensive.

“Everyone appreciates an open bar.” Agatha counters. “How many martinis have you had tonight?”

“Just the two.” I respond primly.

“And two pints, three gin and tonics, and a shot of something that tastes like strawberry yogurt.” Simon supplies. I throw him a ‘traitor!’ look as Agatha crows in triumph.

“And the night is still young!” She grins.

as readers of Shoulder To Shoulder will know, i made an accompanying playlist of songs from the 80s that tied in with the events of the story. this story is set from 1985 to 2024, but the playlist is staying 80s, and i need suggestions for songs for three events: a wedding, a funeral, and a political march. if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!
